Carnival has arrived to the Ramblas!

This year's Carnival festivities, which run from 16 to 22 February, take a nod at previous centuries and bring back several historical activities. The arrival of the Carnival King, the masked balls and the sardine burial ceremony will take place alongside the Carnival parades throughout the city.

His Majesty will arrive at Passeig del Born, accompanied by Seven Ambassadors from imaginary nations representing vices and excesses. That will be immediately followed by the Sarau de l'Arribo, a masked ball which, like most of this year's events, will be held in the evening, so all the family can take part.

Do not miss the beginning of Carnival!
